reliability of the WiFi connection, with frequent disconnections from the router in the highest
power saving mode.
If you know what you're doing and the node doesn't need to have an extremely reliable connection to WiFi,
you can set the power saving mode to ``LIGHT`` or even ``HIGH``. But for most situations ``NONE`` is the best.
The default is ``light`` (a bit of power saving). If you experience frequent WiFi disconnection problems,
please switch to ``none`` (no power saving). However, ``none`` sometimes works even worse than ``light``, so it's
best to test with both (hence ``none`` is also not the default).

That's no good. Here are some steps that resolve some problems:
- **Update platformio** Some errors are caused by platformio not having the latest version. Try running
``platformio update`` in your terminal.
- **Clean the platformio cache**: Sometimes the build cache leaves behind some weird artifacts. Try running
``platformio run -d <NAME_OF_NODE> -t clean``.
- **Try with the latest Arduino framework version**:
See :ref:`this <esphomeyaml-arduino_version>`.
- **If you're having WiFi problems**: See :ref:`wifi-problems`.
- **Try with the latest Arduino framework version**: See :ref:`this <esphomeyaml-arduino_version>`.
- **Still an error?** Please file a bug report over in the `esphomelib issue tracker <https://github.com/OttoWinter/esphomelib/issues>`__.
I will take a look at it as soon as I can. Thanks!

Some steps that can help with the issue:
- Set the ``power_save_mode`` to ``NONE`` in the ``wifi:`` config. See :ref:`wifi-power_save_mode`.
- Use the most recent version of th arduino framework. The platformio arduino package
always takes some time to update and the most recent version often includes some awesome
patches. See :ref:`esphomeyaml-arduino_version`.
